Three Dog Night - Harmony (Clear Vinyl)

55th Anniversary Remaster on 180 Gram Clear Vinyl

This 55th anniversary edition of Harmony presents a new remaster of the 1971 album on a single 180-gram clear vinyl LP, with new liner notes from founding member Danny Hutton. It is issued by Primary Wave Music under catalog number PWM8795.

Harmony was Three Dog Night's fifth studio album. It first appeared on Dunhill in September 1971, produced by Richard Podolor and recorded at American Recording Co. in Studio City, California. It reached No. 8 on the Billboard album chart and was certified gold by the RIAA.

Three singles came from it. Paul Williams wrote "An Old Fashioned Love Song" with the Carpenters in mind; after Richard Carpenter passed on it, Three Dog Night took it to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the easy listening chart, with Chuck Negron singing lead. The band's cover of Hoyt Axton's "Never Been to Spain" reached No. 5, and "The Family of Man," by Williams and Jack Conrad, followed in 1972 at No. 12.

Nine of the ten songs came from outside writers, among them Stevie Wonder and Syreeta Wright ("Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer") and Joni Mitchell ("Night in the City"); only "Jam" is credited to the band. Hutton, Negron and Cory Wells shared lead vocals, backed by Michael Allsup on guitar, Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards, Joe Schermie on bass and Floyd Sneed on drums.

The band formed in Los Angeles in the late 1960s around its three singers and went on to 21 Top 40 hits, the best known being the No. 1 "Joy to the World." Negron died in February 2026.
